With the Fireball 2019 World Championships due to start on Sunday, Britain’s Ian Dobson and Richard Wagstaff put down a marker, winning the North American Championship.
Dobson and Wagstaff won three of the five races to finish four points ahad of Claude Mermod and Ruedi Moser of Switzerland, with JCanada’s Joe Jospe and Tom Egli taking third.
The entry for the Worlds has 43 teams listed from 10 countries, strangely it also lists several different sized Fireballs, undoubtably some sort of conversion error, hope they fit in the end!
